How the guides are written
Third person, named sources, stated limits
Every guide on The Kobe Minaret describes the mosque, its bodies and events in the third person and names its public sources at the end of the text. When a custom varies by mosque or by city, the guide says so instead of guessing.
Kitano-cho appears throughout as a concrete address, because a real slope with real stone houses makes access, prayer times and day trips easier to picture.
